10 Step Korean Skincare Routine

Jun 21, 2018

The 10 step skincare routine sounds bizarre, but it has been tested and proven by K-beauty experts. The reason TMB is sharing this skin routine is to aware beauty experts to fully understand the purpose of each step so that it is easier creating own skincare routine.

#2 Water-Based CleanserDouble-cleansing is the key. Massage cleanser around your face to remove any leftover impurities from oil cleansing.

#3 ExfoliateExfoliating at least twice a week is highly recommended for polished skin. Getting rid of dead skin cells will help your skincare products work to the fullest. Gently massage all over your face for a couple of minutes then wash off.

#4 TonerToner is more of a preparation for denser products that patted on afterward. Simply have the right amount on your hands and dab it onto your skin or use a cotton pad to wipe your skin gently.

#5 EssenceImportant! Helps repair your skin in areas that have dry patches and to help reduce hyperpigmentation. Pat it onto your toned skin.

#7 Sheet MaskThe most affordable skincare. Many K-beauty experts do “1 sheet mask per day routine” to maintain their healthy skin. You can also customize your regimen with sheet masks - from pure moisturizing to complexed lifting. Don’t leave it too long so that the mask re-absorbs moisture from your skin which will eventually leave your skin dry.

#8 Eye CreamThe skin around the eye area is very thin and fragile. Use on areas where wrinkles are more likely to form. Do not rub, gently pat.

#9 MoisturizerHydrating is the key for dewy, glowing skin. Moisturizers are made into many different forms - from an emulsion, lotion, gel, or cream - use the one that works the best for your skin.

#10 Sunscreen or Sleeping MaskMorning routine- Sunscreen is the easiest way to prevent premature aging. Remember to put this last so it can entirely shield your skin from UV rays.Night routine- Apply on a sleeping mask; this helps lock in the moisture while you are asleep.
